摘要: Purpose Carbonate-based heterogeneous reacting systems are investigated for the applications of thermochemical carbon dioxide capture and energy storage. This paper aims to review recent progress in numerical modeling thermal transport phenomena such systems. Design/methodology/approach Calcium oxide looping is selected as model carbonate-based system. Numerical models coupling heat mass transfer chemical kinetics reviewed solar-driven calcium on sorbent particle, particle bed, reactor levels. Findings At level, a transient coupled has been developed single undergoing cyclic calcination carbonation driven by time-periodic boundary conditions. Modeling results show cycle times impact maximum utilization solar-to-chemical efficiency. At packed-bed concept estimate reactor’s performance. The was used finalize geometry evaluating pressure drops, temperature distributions, reactor. Originality/value Successful solar designs maximize conversion matching processes. furthers understanding interactions guides design reactors.
